Trainwreck

This is just sad. Palin’s responses to Charlie Gibson’s questions were often trite recitations of canned talking points, but largely they were coherent. With Palin’s interview with CBS’s Katie Couric, we seem to have crossed that particular Rubicon. It’s just depressing me to watch her now. I feel sorry for her. She seems like a nice enough woman. McCain, by playing for the evangelical base has really done her a disservice. I don’t think she ever would have been ready for the big time – as has been noted, she doesn’t seem to have any interest in things outside her very narrow, Alaska centered worldview. I guess that’ll be okay when the Rapture drives all the believers from the Lower 48 up into Alaska. But right now, it’s just depressing.
